Previews

Reviews

• Best Fight of the night
• Heath was very tentative and Nog was very sure of himself
• Nogueira staggers Heath in the first round
• Heath gets a nice head kick in near the end of the round but doesn't capitalize
• Round 2 started with a groggy Nog but Heath inexplicably didn't capitalize
  • Apparently, Yves Lavigne the ref was giving him mixed instructions 
• No looking back for Nog after he clears head
•  Heath's face was hamburger
• Nog looked good but not world class. Needs a work-up
  

• Typical Sherk Fight. Full 5 rounds
• Lots of wrestling, not much finishing
• Too much turtling by Hermes
• Sherk really needs to pick up a JJ game
• Incredibly strong and persistent guy, needs an end game
• Exciting slams at times
• Referee really needs to break up the action on the ground when nothing developing
  

• Lots of build-up before the fight
• Tito is HUGE compared to Rashad (6'2" vs. 5'11")
• Tito usually 220, Rashad is a natural 205
• Tito was able to get Rashad down but not capitalize
• Rashad was too tentative on the feet, Tito had gotten in his head with a takedown at beginning of R1
• Tito was constantly cheating. Grabbing shorts, and even the cage 3 times
• Tito loses a point for grabbing the cage causing a 9-9 2nd Round
• Rashad finally comes on and Tito fades in the 3rd round
• Some great slams by Rashad. Where was this fire in the first round?
• Draw
• "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying"
• Fight seemed like a warm-up for a second fight (Story of Ortiz's life) 
• audio clip here (props Steve Sievert - Houston Chronicle)
  

• Absolute butt whooping by Anderson Silva
• Nate tried to effect his gameplan of taking Anderson to the ground
• Nate constantly pawing at Anderson's guard, sign of nervousness
• Anderson successfully staves off Nate's ground game
• Nate finally gets a single leg takedown but Silva reversed
• Straight rights by Anderson puts out Nate's lights
  

• Alvin was the newbie and quite eager to fight
• Kenny was just plain better technically
• Kenny gets some great leg trips and hip throws in, Karo impersonation
• Kenny finally gets a single leg and mounts for the final time.
• Massive GNP causes Alvin to tap.
